It's quite hard to limit to 5 when I want to recommend the entire Discworld series.

Would you mind telling me what you like about them so much? I heard about them before, but I never really bothered getting into them, discarding them as too geeky-fantasy-strange. Can you dispel my prejudices?

I can tell you what I like about Discworld.
Whimsical, funny, suitable to all age groups.
Can be read stand-alone and enjoyed
Easy reading and all around nice.

This is great, guys! Keep 'em coming! I am totally okay with nominating a series as one entry. I want to see as many replies as possible so we have the biggest possible list and can refer newcomers to a great list of books to read.

Sorry, not going to pick one fav out of a series when I can nominate a series as an entry.
